Virtual Producer

Virtual Producer Program Overview

Behind every well-delivered learning session, presentation and meeting is a great technical producer. The role of the producer is to support the presenter/facilitator and transform the virtual event into a trouble-free and interactive session that keep audiences engaged and the presenter on track. The importance of a producer is often overlooked. Presenters rely on the producer to launch all media at the appropriate time; handle rapid task switching; and monitor the technical aspects of the virtual event, including launching polls and monitoring chats, which allows the presenter to focus on facilitating the content in an interactive and engaging format. The producer acts as a safety guard, separating successful live virtual sessions from sessions that could become chaotic, disorganized, non-engaging and hindered by technical challenges.

This program is ideal for the presenter/facilitator who wishes to take on both roles or for the technical support personnel responsible for producing smooth and successful virtual communication and learning sessions in Adobe Connect, WebEx or Zoom.

NOTE: Participation in this program requires the use of VOIP communications. A computer headset is highly recommended for best audio quality. We also recommend a hardwired internet connection rather than wifi.

For me, this training offered the type of confidence through practice I needed. The facilitator illustrated how we could use the producer skills to enhance and support the facilitator’s instruction to the point of being extremely vital to have an experienced producer. Geoff’s ease of facilitation and deft producer skills brought what could have been a very intimidating experience to one of exhilaration and excitement to visually see the tool (Adobe Connect) used in a live session as a facilitator with keen and insight support of a trained producer. I was looking forward to this workshop, and the accompanying class titled ‘Instructional Techniques for the Virtual Classroom’ was also taught by Friesen, Kaye, and Associates. These two workshops not only bolstered and bookended my incomplete skillset in virtual facilitation and producing – they presented the material in a pace and manner highly relatable and relevant to the times.
